International Admissions

English Proficiency Requirements

Do I need to show English proficiency as part of my
application?

Applicants who have attended a school where the primary language
of instruction is English can have this requirement waived.
However, all applicants need to show results from the TOEFL, IELTS,
SAT, or ACT exam, or be receiving an IB diploma. Mount Saint Mary
College reserves the right to request any additional requirements
in order to complete an application. Any questions should be
directed towards international@msmc.edu

What are the minimum requirements?

English Programs in partnership with Education First

Applicants whose English proficiency scores fall just below our
minimum requirements can participate in our short-term programs
that prepare students before the start of fall and spring
semesters. Mount Saint Mary College reserves the right to request
students participate in these programs as a condition of enrollment
to the College. Please visit our English Programs page or email international@msmc.edu for
more information.

Conditional Admission

Mount Saint Mary College does offer conditional admission to
applicants by request. Students who are conditionally admitted will
take an online exam to determine the length of the English program
needed before they are accepted. Applicants will need to attend
MSMC’s English program in conjunction with
Education First as part of the conditions outlined in the
letter.
